Show Notes
Debbie Kelly led a fabulous life in San Antonio, TX - a successful career, a giddy group of tennis-playing girlfriends, and a new house. But after she fell for her contractor (who was shadily slow-rolling the construction in order to spend time with her RED FLAG!!!!), things went horrifically wrong. One dark night in their home led to a terrible mistake - or was it? Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper and run a comb through your hair, Fam, and follow along with the story with us.

Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up to ACTUALLY DO IT. And once the internet caught wind of this, it was just a matter of time before this became an international countdown to the day. And who knew what would happen. The only thing they knew for sure was that the US Military had orders to SHOOT TO KILL anyone who tried. FAM! We'll have Part 2 of our coverage here in the regular feed next week, but if you don't want to wait, it's also available right now, early and ad-free, as a special bonus for all Patreon members!

In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing. But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him. Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all." So it wasn't until 2020, when a piece of his skull was dug up by a dog, that anyone, including his neighbors, learned the truth of what happened. Find and watch "What the Neighbors Saw" on Paramount+

Again, Diane had no questions. So what in the ever loving hell was going on here? You're about to find out, Fam, by way of SOME OF THE MOST CHILLING POLICE INTERROGATION VIDEO WE'VE EVER SEEN.

OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there for him. The only thing was, his story was a complete lie. And when Bridget notices THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS missing from her bank account, she knows Ricky has scammed her. And then, Ricky takes off. But guess what? Our SHEroes Cecile and Brian are gonna track that POS down and make him answer AND PAY FOR his crimes. GO GET HIM, LADIES! Find and watch "Love Con Revenge: Fallen Soldier" on Netflix
